Boating in North Texas
DFW boaters mostly keep their boats at home and trailer them to the big reservoirs ringing the metroplex, or keep them in the storage lots along the highways. When a boat stops getting used, it tends to stay in the storage lot or the driveway, collecting fees or HOA letters.
Around the lakes it's a different picture: lake houses on Cedar Creek and Possum Kingdom with a boat that hasn't left the boathouse in years, and docks where a boat sank on its lift. North Texas hail and spring storms add damaged boats to the mix.
Worth Knowing
Local things that affect the job
Storage lot pickups
Lots generally require fees to be current and the owner (or an authorized person) to release the boat. Sort that out with the lot first and give us their hours.
Lake-home access
Steep driveways and narrow lake roads are common around Possum Kingdom and Cedar Creek. Photos of the approach help us plan.
Lake levels
North Texas reservoirs rise and fall with drought and heavy rain, which can strand a boat on a dock or leave one resting on the bottom. Tell us the current water situation at your dock.
